Trump supporters say: “it’s fantastic, he gets things don”

Yeah he gets things done….he makes things worse for America


There are almost always alternatives. US products are now at the bottom of the list.

And no, Trump’s grandstand play today - a so-called 30 day delay - won’t change anything at the consumer level. Ottawa may have put their retaliatory plans on hold, but they’re still ready to go.

Boycotts and cancellations at the provincial and consumer level - that train has left the station. It’s heading down the track, and it won’t turn around anytime soon

Examples of recent grocery shopping:

  1. Fresh fruits - Canada first, then South America
  2. Citrus fruits: Spain, not USA
  3. Vegetables - Canada first, then Mexico, then - only if absolutely unavoidable - US.
  4. Canned products and other non-perishables - check the label first!
  5. Travel plans - cancelled or altered. I had two trips to the US scheduled for this year and next. They’re now cancelled, and it would take a miracle from Trump - for example, Trump magically acquiring some intelligence - to reverse that decision
Our kitchen stove died earlier this month. The appliance salesman showed us a couple of US models - Whirlpool, from a Red state. We said “no thanks”. The salesman said we weren’t the first. We bought LG from South Korea. Not only are they consumers of Canadian aluminum, but they had the guts to arrest an insurrectionist president.

Liquor sales in Canada are a matter of provincial jurisdiction. Every province in Canada is removing American products from liquor store shelves. Again, it will take a lot more than an easily-broken promise from Trump to change that one

His threats of 25% tariffs on Monday were performative. Canada had agreed to bolster the border on Dec 19th (probably as a result of his tariff threats). Nothing has changed since then. He had no need to go down the tariff path given that Canada had already agreed to placate him backin December.

He is a dick.

Things have changed since then.

Trump had to back down. Canada won.

Lots of Canadians are publically stating they won't buy American goods unless they have no choice.

Lose lose for Trump
 
Doubt it will make a lot of difference tbh

All these noble people saying they will do the right thing

In most cases it don’t amount to a bag of beans

All p*** and wind ????

As for tariffs billions will pour into the US funds


If he wanted to raise funds via taxes ir would take months arguing with congress

Same thing can be achieved at the stroke of a pen

And in any event they are already sitting in some room over beer and sandwiches sorting the issue
So doubt it will continue

And remember there is a lot of French influence etc in Canada

Yes exactly ( scoundrels )
